Hey again! It still amazes me everytime I get a new review, that you guys actually are reading my story, and you like it! So thank you my loves, for reading, reviewing and liking my story:) So here's chapter 14!
Disclaimer: I don't own Mortal instruments..
Jace POV
"Jace! Wake up! NOW!" Isabelle yelled behind my door. I groaned and pulled the duvet up to my ears.
"Go away Izzy. I'm not going to wake up. I don't remember that she isn't here when I'm sleeping." I mumbled hugging Clary's shirt closer to my chest. She had left it for me and I had given my t-shirt to her.
Isabelle opened my door and walked quietly to my bed. She climbed in and pulled me into her arms. She just held me there and rocked us back and forth slowly.
"Jace I know you miss her. I miss her too. But it's not getting her back here. I know the hopes that you could enjoy your time here, when she's in L.A.-"
"Don't speak like she's dead. She's alive."
"Yes, I know that she's alive. But my point was, that you know her. She would be angry if she saw you here, on your bed, almost crying. Don't you agree? I know how you feel, but you have to think, that she will be back. Sooner or later. She isn't alone in L.A. Jonathan's there with her. She's safe with him"
"I know. I know that. But will this pain in my heart ever go away?" I looked at my adopted sister. She was looking at me with understanding eyes.
"I think it will never go away entirely. But you'll get used to it. And you will see her. Like I said, she will come back. For you. And you can always call her. She hasn't forgot you."
I nodded. I knew I was going to see her sooner or later. Isabelle hugged me tightly before letting go and got out of my bed.
"We're leaving in 15 minutes. Be ready by then, otherwise you will walk to school." She winked and walked away laughing.
I laughed too and shook my head. I got up and went to my bathroom. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I looked like a shit. Really. My hair was a mess and I had dark circle under my eyes. I washed my face and brushed my hair. Better.
I walked back to my room and opened my closet. I pulled my dark jeans and white t-shirt on. I took my black leather jacket and walked downstairs. I grabbed an apple from the kitchen and walked out of the house. Isabelle and Alec were waiting in Maryse's white Range rover. It was the biggest car our family had and Alec liked driving it.
He drove us to school and I sighed as I got out of the car. This really sucks. I thought as we walked together into the building. But I knew everything was going to be alright, it would just take time.
I was sitting in mr. Starkweather's history class. Oh joy. I looked out of the window: it was raining. I wondered what Clary was doing in California.
Clary POV
I woke up without Jonathan's alarm even ringing. I looked at the clock next to his bed. 6:30 am. WHAT? Why I'm this early awake?! Then I remembered that we were in California and it was already 9:30 in New York. I felt my brother moving on the other side of the bed and I sat up. I knew he was going to spread his arms so I got out of his way before he hit me. And three seconds later his arm slammed against his bed, just behind my back.
"Okay, now wake up Jonnhy boy. We're going to go spend mommy and daddy Morgenstern's money today. Don't you remember?" I tickled his bare stomach and he was up in seconds.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm up and I do remember. What is the most expensive store in L.A. you know?" He asked smirking.
"Oh now we're going to make them regret that they made us come here? Hmm.. That sounds like a good plan to me. But I know a better way to spend their money. A lot better." I was smirking too.
"And what that might be?" Jonathan asked.
"A new car. For us."
Jonathan just stared at me for a moment before a huge grin was dancing on his lips.
"I knew you were smart but now you have proved that you're genius! But of course I knew that. You're my little sis." He smiled proudly.
"I know, I know. Now let this genius go to her room so she can go to take a shower and change her clothes." I said walking out of his room.
I took a shower and dried my hair. I was going to make these California-girls envious. I made my hair look like it was on fire and my eyes sparkled. I put a simple white tank top and black skinny jeans on. I took my leather jacket and met Jon in front of his room.
He looked goog. He had a black t-shirt and dark ripped skinny jeans on. His hair was a mess, but it always was and it looked good on him.
We walked downstairs and saw our parents in the kitchen. I walked to them and kissed dad's cheek and hugged mom.
"Good morning darling. Did you sleep well?" Dad asked.
"Good morning to you too, yes I did sleep well. It was way hotter here than in New York."
mom laughed and said that we would get used to it.
"Daddy, Jonathan and I are going to buy new clothes for school. Can you give us a little money?" I asked blinking my lashes. I heard my brother laughing quietly, but I tried to ignore him. Didn't he know that I was going to get dad's credit card.
"Yes, sure." he took his wallet out of his pocket and took out his card. "Here you go sweetheart. Use it wisely. I know you will."
"Thank you daddy!" I hugged him and danced to Jonathan. He was standing at the door frame.
"Bye daddy and mom!" And with that we went outside and took mom's car. Jonathan let me drive and I drove us to a huge mall. I parked the car and we walked inside.
"Okay, where should we start?" Jonathan asked.
"You know.. I need some new bras etc.. Would you like to come with me to VS..?" I asked blinking my lashes.
"I see what you did there. Don't you dare to use that against me. You did that to dad, didn't you?" He laughed
"I don't know what you're talking about.." I looked him innocently.
"Yeah, sure you don't. Come on, let's go to that damn shop." He took my hand and pulled me with him. I got nasty looks from the girls with their friends. I just smiled to them, silly girls thought Jonathan was my boyfriend. Hahahah! Let them think. I knew Jon was good-looking, 'cause hey come on, he's my brother and we have the same genes.
"These girls think that we're boyfriend and girlfriend." I whispered to him.
"So do these guys too. But let them think." He whispered too and winked.
Half an hour later I had two Victoria's Secret bags in my hand. We walked out of the shop and walked to the next shop.
"Please remind me that I won't come to that shop ever again with you." I just laughed and pushed him a little.
After four hours of shopping, we decided to go to buy the car. I was getting nervous. Should we really make dad angry, it's not entirely his fault that we're here.
"Jon.. I'm not that sure anymore about this.." I said
"Claaaryyyy. Come on! You're not backing!" Jon whined.
"Can we at least call dad? Yes, I'm going to call him." I pulled my phone out of my bag and dialed dad's number.
"Valentine Morgenstern speaking."
"Hi dad, it's me Clary. Look, we were just thinking. How far our school is from our house? We were thinking that maybe we should have a car. And by 'we' I mean myself and Jonathan."
"So you're trying to say, that could you two buy a car. Clarissa Adele Morgenstern, do you not know your father at all? I'm not going to let you buy a car by yourselves-"
"I totally understand dad, but I don't want you or mom to drive us to school everyday. It would be so much easier if we had a car!"
"Please, let me finish. I was going to say that I'm not going to make you kids walk to school nor will I drive you by myself. I was also going to say that we already have a car for you, you left so quickly this morning, I didn't have a chance to tell it to you."
"What? You and mom already have a car for us?" I looked at Jonathan and mouthed him they already have a car for us! His eyes widened and he mouthed back What car? What colour?
"Dad, I'm going to give this phone to my brother, so you can talk about it. We're coming home soon. Bye!" I gave the phone to Jonathan and he asked at least 10 different questions about the car. I wasn't that interested in car's so I let Jonathan talk with dad about it.
Once we got home, Jonathan ran to the garage and opened the door. Inside of the garage was a beautiful red Mercedes-Benz. Even I fell in love with it immediately. Jon looked like he was going to explode soon.
"You're happy?" I asked
"Yes, Clary, I am!" He said breathing hard
"Good. I'm happy if you're happy." I smiled to him. He looked up and came around the car to hug me.
We went inside to thank mom and dad.
"Thank you for this, we really appreciate it!" Jonathan said hugging both of our parents.
"You're welcome. It was kind of a thank you gift, for coming with us here. We missed you when we were away from New York. And we know that you miss your friends from NY, but who knows, maybe we're going to move back some day." Dad said
We talked with them a little bit more, before going upstairs. I went to my room and opened the balcony's door. I dragged my armchair out of the room and to the balcony and sat down. I took my phone from my pocket and called to Jace again.
"Hey baby."
"Hi Jace. What are you doing? Is your practise over yet?"
"Yeah, just got home. Now I'm lying on my bed, trying to get myself up to go to take a shower. What are you doing? How was your day?"
"It was alright, Jon and I got a car! It's beautiful. You should call Jon and share his excitement. I'm not the right person for that. And he misses you too."
"Yeah, it's boring here when he's not around goofing." I laughed at that one. Jonathan really was the funny one. He always made everyone happy.
"God I miss your laughter. It's good to hear it."
"Hey, hey, don't be sad. I'm not gone permanently. I'll be back and I definitely will come and visit you."
"I know, but that doesn't mean that I can't miss you."
"I miss you too Jace. I really do. But we have to enjoy our time, you your time there, and I my time here. We well move back and then you don't have to let me out of your sight ever again." He laughed. I had missed his laughter too. It was beautiful, like he was himself.
"You bet I won't. I can talk to Maryse if she let me come to visit you soon. I want to make sure boys there in California don't touch you with their dirty hands."
"Make sure first that the girls there keep their hands of off you."
"I'm not letting anyone else than you touch me."
We talked for a long time about everything. Hours later I heard him yawn and I laughed softly
"You're tired. Do you want me to play and sing something to you? You could close your eyes and try to sleep. I'm going to sing as long as you want me to." I got up from the chair and walked to the music room.
"Could you? God, yes, please!"
"Okay, go to bed now. Goooood boy. Now close your eyes. Are your eyes closed now?"
"Yes."
"Okay, good night love, I love you so much. Sleep well!"
"I love you too. Good night." He sighed and I began to play one of my favourite songs.
Jace POV
I was lying on my bed when I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. Clary. Smiling I answered.
"Hey baby."
"Hi Jace. What are you doing? Is your practise over yet?"
"Yeah, just got home. Now I'm lying on my bed, trying to get myself up to go to take a shower. What are you doing? How was your day?"
"It was alright, Jon and I got a car! It's beautiful. You should call Jon and share his excitement. I'm not the right person for that. And he misses you too."
I talked to her hours. I missed her voice so much, I didn't even care what she said, I just wanted to hear her voice.
I couldn't help but yawn. She laughed and told me to go to bed. She said she could sing me to sleep. I loved her singing.
She told me to go to bed. I did what she told me to do. I closed my eyes and relaxed. She began singing on of her favourite songs. It was Battle Scars by Lupe Fiasco and Guy Sebastian.
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle
Never let a wound ruin me
But I feel like ruins wooing me
Arrow holes that never close from cupid on a shooting spree
Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me
But when you're trying to beat the odds up
Been trying to keep your nods up and you know that you should know
And let her go but the fear of the unknown
Holding another lover strong sends you back into the zone
With no Tom Hanks to bring you home
A lover not a fighter on the frontline with a poem
Trying to write yourself a rifle
Maybe sharpen up a song
To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone
I wish I never looked, I wish I never touched
I wish that I could stop loving you so much
Cause I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the signs say that I should forget her
I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle
Slowly I drifted into a peaceful sleep. I knew she was okay, and she was going to come back someday. That made me feel relaxed and I could finally sleep the whole night without waking up and trying to find her next to me.
Yes! I made it! A new update! Yay! I hope you liked it!:) Should I add more Jace's povs or not? I love Jace.. I just can't help it.. I bet there's no one like him in this 'real life', you know what I mean?
And I'm sorry if you guys want more drama to this story, but I'm not going to turn this into a drama story, I don't like the drama in my life, so I want to 'escape' just for a moment into this no-drama-world inside my head.
And please tell me you like it or not, if not, what should I fix. I'm not going to change these characters, but I can make changes in my writing. So please review!
